Old Williamsburg, Virginia 🇺🇸

I suddenly want to visit Old Williamsburg. I love American history and I want to visit some historical points of interest related to revolutionary times.

I've got the itch to visit Old Williamsburg too.

Williamsburg real estate is overpriced. More history and cheaper prices in Newport News!

Annapolis may be the prettiest town in all America.

Unfortunately, it is filled with Marylanders.

Isn't it just called... Williamsburg?

Incredibly fascinating, OP

When I get there I want to re-enact some colonial period domestic situations. Like relaxing on a warm summer night, naked

I'm told they are now showcasing the forgotten history of trans differently-abled people of colour in colonial Virginia,

Very expensive filled with affluent families. Not that great.

Can we stop at Cracker Barrel on the way?

It's not really American history as such. It was veterans of the Duke of Marlborough's German campaigns who were responsible for its look and planning. It was Alexander Spotswood and his military clique who gave Virginia a decidedly cantonment feel at Williamsburg and who was largely responsible for the Crown making the effort to assert its authority more aggressively in the new world.

Who lives in New Williamsburg, Virginia?

What’s all this talk about living there? OP wants to visit and take in the history. It’s great, you should visit, OP.

by Anonymousreply 24April 28, 2024 11:38 AM

R24: NO one's talking about living there. The rich people are the tourists. Everyone looks like an ad from the Sunday NYT Magazine. The food is very expensive. It also seemed very twee and pretentious. I was there because of a meeting at William and Mary. No desire to ever go again.

It has great gardens. So going in the spring is wonderful. Definitely worth it.

R25 I’m that demographic. I guess I’ll plan on it.
